Employee Transition Separation Agreement and General Release

Exhibit 10.1

Employee Transition Separation Agreement and General Release

This Employee Transition Separation Agreement and General Release (the “Agreement”) is entered into by and between SeaChange International, Inc. (“SeaChange” or the “Company”)¹ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (“you,” “your” or the “Employee”).

The purpose of this Agreement is to confirm the terms of your transition out of employment with SeaChange and to release SeaChange from any claims. Unless you rescind your assent as set forth in Section 9 below, this Agreement shall be effective on the eighth (8^th) day following the day you sign it (the “Effective Date”), at which time it shall become final and binding on all parties. With these understandings and in exchange for the promises of you and the Company as set forth below, you and SeaChange agree as follows.

1. Transition Period.

A. Provided that the Company does not terminate you earlier or extend your employment, the Company shall terminate or you shall resign from your employment with the Company, whichever you choose, on September 30, 2022, and your employment with the Company shall terminate effective 5:00 pm EDT on September 30, 2022. The actual termination date will be your “Separation Date.” Starting August 3, 2022 and through the Separation Date (the “Transition Period”), you shall no longer hold the position of Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. However, you will continue to be a Company employee and perform the duties needed to assist with your transition out of employment with the Company, as well as any other duties reasonably requested by the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the duties of your employment during the Transition Period include, but are not limited to:

(i) timely executing all necessary documents to transition out of your position or other lawful documents at the Company’s request; and

(ii) otherwise assisting in transitioning your duties and responsibilities to others.

B. Provided that you execute and do not revoke this Agreement pursuant to Section 9 below, comply with this Agreement, comply with Company policy and your obligations to the Company, and have not been terminated for Cause (as that term is defined in your October 8, 2019 Change in Control Agreement (the “CIC Agreement”)), during the Transition Period:

(i) The Company will continue to pay your current regular monthly base salary, subject to applicable taxes and withholdings; and

(ii) You will continue to be entitled to employee benefits, expense reimbursement, and health insurance, subject to your eligibility under any applicable plan documents and compliance with applicable policies.

2. Separation and Final Wages.

A. On the Separation Date, you shall be paid all earned, but unpaid salary through the Separation Date and any other accrued but unpaid amounts that might be due under Company policies or applicable law (the “Accrued Amounts”).

B. As of the Separation Date, your salary will cease, and any entitlement you have or might have under a Company-provided benefit plan, program, contract or practice will terminate, except as required by federal or state law, or as otherwise described below. You acknowledge that, as of the Separation Date (or sooner at the Company’s request and/or pursuant to your employment duties), you shall also relinquish any Board of Directors, committee and other positions you hold with SeaChange or on its behalf. You further acknowledge that from and after the Separation Date, you will have no authority to represent yourself as an employee, officer, director or agent of the Company, and you agree not to represent yourself in the future as an employee, officer, director or agent of the Company.

3. Severance Pay.

A. If you (i) do not rescind this Agreement, as set forth in Section 9 below, (ii) comply with the terms of this Agreement, (iii) comply with the terms of your September 6, 2019 Employee Nondisclosure and Developments Agreement (the “NDA”) and any other post-employment obligations, (iv) are not terminated for Cause (as defined in the CIC Agreement), and (v) execute (no earlier than the Separation Date), do not revoke, and comply with the attached General Release and Satisfaction Agreement (Exhibit A), pursuant to your offer letter dated September 6, 2019 (the “Offer Letter”), the Company will pay you (i) severance pay in the gross amount of $300,000.00 (THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS AND NO CENTS) (the “Severance Pay”), plus (ii) $50,000.00 (FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS AND NO CENTS), which represents full settlement of any and all outstanding disputed amounts, including but not limited to, bonus payments, future stock awards (the “Settlement Amount”).

▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Pay and the Settlement Amount shall be subject to all required withholdings and taxes and shall be reported as income on an IRS Form W-2 for each calendar year in which it is paid. The Severance Pay will be paid in twenty-four (24) equal installments over a period of one year, commencing on the first regularly scheduled payroll date to occur after the Effective Date, and paid in accordance with the Company’s payroll schedule for active employees. In the event that a Change of Control occurs during the one year period in which Severance Pay is being paid, the balance of any remaining unpaid Severance Pay shall be accelerated and paid in a lump-sum immediately prior to closing of the Change of Control. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Change of Control” is defined in your CIC Agreement. The Settlement Amount will be paid in a lump sum on the later of (a) September 30, 2022 or (b) the first regularly scheduled payroll date after the Effective Date.

2

C. If you (i) do not rescind this Agreement, as set forth in Section 9 below, (ii) comply with the terms of this Agreement, (iii) comply with the terms of your September 6, 2019 Employee Nondisclosure and Developments Agreement (the “NDA”) and any other post-employment obligations, (iv) are not terminated for Cause (as defined in the CIC Agreement), and (v) execute (no earlier than the Separation Date), do not revoke, and comply with the attached General Release and Satisfaction Agreement (Exhibit A), pursuant to your offer letter dated September 6, 2019 (the “Offer Letter”), the Company will accelerate the vesting of your remaining 4,762 unvested restricted stock units (RSUs) from your RSU grant dated May 26, 2020 (the “Accelerated Shares”). You agree that the Company may sell enough of the Accelerated Shares to cover the tax liabilities due on the vesting of the Accelerated Shares in order to remit the taxes due on your behalf.

D. By way of reminder, “Cause” is defined in the CIC Agreement to include (i) “engaging in willful and repeated gross negligence or gross misconduct” and (ii) “breaching of a material fiduciary duty to the Company.” For the avoidance of doubt, gross misconduct and a breach of a material fiduciary duty to the Company include without limitation refusing to carry out your material duties or the lawful directions of SeaChange, including your transition-related duties, such as executing all required documents to transition out of your position.

E. Payments pursuant to Section 3(A) shall cease and the Company shall be entitled to repayment of any Severance Pay already paid to you in the event that, after giving detailed written notice to you and giving you five days to respond, the Company reasonably concludes that you have engaged in conduct that constitutes a breach of your agreements with and/or post-employment obligations to the Company. Payments will not be made during any such challenge.

4. Acknowledgments. You acknowledge and agree that:

A. this Agreement and the Severance Pay are neither intended to nor shall they constitute a severance plan and shall confer no benefit on anyone other than the Company and you; and

B. except for any vested monies due to you pursuant to the Company’s 401(k) savings plan, as of the date you sign this Agreement, you have been paid and provided all wages, vacation pay, holiday pay, equity, authorized, reimbursable business expenses, and all other forms of compensation, benefit or remuneration that may be due to you now or which would have become due in the future in connection with your employment with or separation of employment from the Company.

5. Unemployment Insurance and COBRA. After the Separation Date, you may:

A. seek unemployment benefits as a result of your separation from the Company. Decisions regarding eligibility for and amounts of unemployment benefits are made by the applicable state agency, not by the Company. The Company will not object to your request for unemployment benefits to the applicable state agency; and

B. if you timely elect continued coverage under COBRA, the Company will pay your COBRA premiums necessary to continue your coverage (including coverage for eligible dependents, if applicable) (“COBRA Premiums”) through the period (the “COBRA Premium Period”) starting on October 1, 2022 and ending on the earliest to occur of: (i) December 31, 2022 or (ii) the date you and your eligible dependents, if applicable, become eligible for group health insurance coverage through your new employer.

3

6. Your Agreements. You hereby covenant and agree as follows:

A. Your termination from employment with the Company shall be effective as of the Separation Date, without the need of acceptance or further action by the Company.

B. You (individually or through your counsel) shall coordinate with the Company (or its counsel) to ensure the prompt and complete return to the Company and/or deletion of all SeaChange property and documents (whether in hard copy or electronic form) in your custody and possession within seven (7) calendar days of the Separation Date, and you agree that you will not retain any copies thereof. If you discover any Company property or documents in the future, you will immediately notify the Company.

C. You will abide by the terms of your NDA. By way of reminder, a copy of the NDA is attached as Exhibit B.

D. You will abide by any and all common law and/or statutory obligations relating to the protection and non-disclosure of the Company’s trade secrets and/or confidential and proprietary documents and information, and you specifically agree that you will not disclose any confidential or proprietary information that you acquired as an employee of the Company to any other person or entity, or use such information in any manner that is detrimental to the interests of the Company.

E. You and the Company will keep confidential and not publicize or disclose the circumstances or negotiations leading to the existence and terms of this Agreement, other than to (i) an immediate family member, your legal counsel, accountant or financial advisor, provided that any such individual to whom disclosure is made shall be bound by these confidentiality obligations; or (ii) as mandated by applicable state or federal law.

F. Nothing in this Agreement prohibits you from providing truthful testimony in any legal proceeding or in communicating with any governmental agency or representative or from making any truthful disclosure required, authorized or permitted under law; provided, however, that in providing such testimony or making such disclosures or communications, you will use your best efforts to ensure that this Section 6 and the NDA are complied with to the maximum extent possible. In addition, any non-disclosure provision in this Agreement does not prohibit or restrict you (or your attorney, if applicable) from initiating communications directly with, responding to any inquiry from, or providing testimony before the SEC, FINRA, any other self-regulatory organization or any other state or federal regulatory agency regarding this Agreement or its underlying facts or circumstances. Furthermore, nothing in this Agreement shall bar or prohibit you from contacting, seeking assistance from or participating in any proceeding before any federal or state administrative agency to the extent permitted by applicable federal, state and/or local law. However, you nevertheless will be prohibited to the fullest extent authorized by law from obtaining monetary damages in any agency proceeding in which you do so participate. Moreover, nothing contained in this Agreement, including this Section 6, shall prohibit or be construed as prohibiting the exercise of any right by you under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act or that you cannot waive or forego under applicable laws or regulations.

G. In the event of a breach of this Agreement or the NDA, the Company will be able to seek any legal or equitable remedy available to the Company, such as a temporary or permanent injunction or other equitable relief against such breach or threatened breach from any court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of showing any actual damages or that monetary damages would not afford an adequate remedy, and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security). The Company will also be entitled to stop providing and/or to seek recovery of any Severance Pay, as set forth above. Nothing set forth herein, or elsewhere in the Agreement, is intended to limit the relief available to the Company.

7. Nondisparagement.

A. You agree that you shall not make any statements that are disparaging about or adverse to the business interests of the Company or which are intended to harm the reputation of the Company, including, but not limited to, any statements that disparage any product, service, finances, employees, officers, directors, capability or any other aspect of the business of the Company, unless required to do so by law or by an order of a court or other forum of competent jurisdiction. Nothing set forth in this Section 7.A., or elsewhere in the Agreement, is intended to restrict or impede you from exercising your rights under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act. The Company’s officers and directors shall not make any statements that are disparaging about or adverse to your business interests or which are intended to harm your reputation, unless required to do so by law or by an order of a court or other forum of competent jurisdiction.

B. The Company agrees that each member of its Board of Directors, individually and/or collectively, shall not make any statements that are disparaging about or adverse to your interests or which are intended to harm your reputation.

8. Release of Claims.

You voluntarily, irrevocably, and unconditionally release and discharge Company and its former and present owners, parents, shareholders, predecessors, successors, assigns, agents, directors, officers, employees, officers, subsidiaries, and affiliates, and all persons acting by, under, or in concert with any of them (collectively, “Company Releasees”) from any and all complaints, claims, demands, contracts, liabilities, actions, causes of action, promises, or rights of any nature whether known or unknown and whether in law or in equity which you now own or hold or have at any time owned or held against Company Releasees arising out of or in any way connected with your employment relationship with or separation from employment and any other transactions, occurrences, acts or omissions or any loss, damage or injury whatsoever, known or unknown, resulting from any act or omission by or on the part of Company Releasees committed or omitted on or prior to the date you sign this Agreement.

9. OWBPA, Right to Counsel, and Right to Revoke.

A. Because you are at least forty (40) years of age, you have specific rights under the ADEA and Older Workers Benefits Protection Act (“OWBPA”). The release in this Agreement is intended to release any claim you may have against SeaChange alleging discrimination on the basis of age under the ADEA, OWBPA and other laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the release in this Section 9 does not cover rights or claims under the ADEA that arise from acts or omissions that occur after the date you sign this Agreement.

▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to the OWBPA, SeaChange hereby advises you in writing to consult with legal counsel of your choice prior to signing this Agreement for the purpose of reviewing and understanding the terms of this Agreement.

You agree that any changes to this Agreement, whether material or immaterial, will not restart the running of this twenty-one (21) day period.

D. In addition, you may rescind your assent to this Agreement if, within seven (7) days after you sign this Agreement, you deliver a notice of rescission to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ with a copy by electronic mail to ▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇. To be effective, such rescission must be received within the seven (7) day period.

10. Cooperation. You agree to cooperate fully with the Company in the defense or prosecution of any claims or actions now in existence or which may be brought or threatened in the future against or on behalf of the Company or its successor(s), including any claim or action against its and their directors, officers and employees. Your cooperation in connection with such claims or actions shall include, without limitation, your being reasonably available (in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with any employment obligations you may have) to speak or meet with the Company to prepare for any proceeding, provide truthful affidavits, assist with any audit, inspection, proceeding or other inquiry, and act as a witness in connection with any litigation or other legal proceeding affecting the Company. The Company will reimburse you for any reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses that you may incur in providing such assistance, so long as you first obtain written pre-approval. Further, the Company shall compensate you for all time incurred meeting your obligations hereunder (other than testifying as a fact witness in any proceeding) at a daily rate equivalent to your daily base rate from the Company as of the Separation Date. Further, the Company shall reimburse you for any reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by you in seeking personal representation in connection with your cooperation with the Company.

8

11. Immunity under the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016. You shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (A) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Disclosures to attorneys made under seal or pursuant to court order are also protected in certain circumstances under said Act.

12. No Liability or Wrongdoing. Nothing in this Agreement, or any of its terms and provisions, or any of the negotiations or proceedings connected with it, constitutes, will be construed to constitute, will be offered in evidence as, received in evidence as, and/or deemed to be evidence of, an admission of liability or wrongdoing by either party, and any such liability or wrongdoing is hereby expressly denied by both parties.

13. Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that any payment or right to payment provided under this Agreement is deemed to constitute non-qualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), this Agreement will be interpreted in a manner consistent with Section 409A and, in the event that any provision that is necessary for compliance with Section 409A is determined by the Company, in its sole discretion, to have been omitted, such omitted provision will be deemed included herein and is hereby incorporated as part of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a termination of employment will not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each payment made under this Agreement will be designated as a “separate payment” within the meaning of the Section 409A of the Code.

A. This Agreement supersedes any and all prior oral and/or written agreements relating to the subject matter addressed herein, except that the NDA, the October 8, 2019 Indemnification Agreement, and the November 30, 2020 Confidential Settlement Agreement and Limited Voluntary Release, which shall remain in full force and effect as necessary to carry out the terms and intent of those agreements.

B. Except as set forth below in Section 14.C., no variations or modifications hereof shall be deemed valid unless reduced to writing and signed by the Company and you. Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement unless expressly so indicated otherwise.

9

C. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if for any reason any part hereof shall be found to be unenforceable, that part can be reformed or stricken by a court of competent jurisdiction and the remaining provisions shall be enforced in full.

D. The language of all parts of this Agreement shall in all cases be construed according to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against either of the parties.

E. The validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement, and any and all other matters relating to your employment and separation of employment from the Company, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to conflict of law principles. Both parties agree that any action, demand, claim or counterclaim relating to (i) your employment and separation of your employment, and/or (ii) the terms and provisions of this Agreement or to its breach, shall be commenced in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in a court of competent jurisdiction and that venue for such actions shall lie exclusively in Massachusetts. You also agree that a court in Massachusetts will have personal jurisdiction over you, and you waive any right to raise a defense of lack of personal jurisdiction by such a court. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT THE PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

F. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original agreement and both of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. The counterparts of this Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile or other electronic signature (including portable document format) by either of the parties and the receiving party may rely on the receipt of such document so executed and delivered electronically.

By signing the below, you hereby acknowledge that you have been encouraged and given an opportunity to consult with legal counsel. By executing this Agreement, you are acknowledging that (a) you have been afforded sufficient time to understand the provisions and effects of this Agreement and to consult with legal counsel; (b) your agreements and obligations under this Agreement are made voluntarily, knowingly and without duress; and (c) neither the Company nor its agents or representatives have made any representations inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement.
